The way I see it we are all going to have a bunch of twinkling, blinking, glowie, trippy type things. I was thinking more along the lines a theme that we can turn our glowies into. My idea was something along the lines of the Beatles for Paul being there . . . pick a song or album and run with it. Before you know it, we would have a Yellow Submarine docked at our camp, Strawberry fields to explore in our down time, maybe call up Lucy and have her hang out in the sky with us, a British flag isn't hard to come by, neither is someone walking around with no shoes

I am starting to get excited.

Not sure if this has ever been done, but I'll propose it. This is what we typically do in the group I tailgate with for Titans games. We always have a food and drink theme and do party cocktails in a cooler based on who the Titans play. So, we'd have a theme based on the day. We could do something for Thurs night, The Beatles, Mumford, and Petty - snacks or whatever else you want. Anyone up for camp vip inforoo cooler cocktails? It takes some coordination and some planning by several folks, but it's always a good time.

Hey Mike D - just sent you a pm with the info you requested. I'm looking very forward to my second 'Roo with some of you guys! You made a newbie feel welcome last year, and I really appreciated it.

I'll be coming from Nashville like some of the others, so I'd be happy to give someone a ride/place to stay the night before or whatever. Right now I'm holding on to my second ticket in case a friend decides to go, but I may end up having to sell it and my car will have tons of space for riders!

Question - The little pod I was with last year had some basics everybody brought to set up a little living room-type deal between the campsites. Is that pretty standard or just something my group did? I can't recall for sure, but I think it was everybody brought two easy-ups? If that's the case, please let me know and I'll plan to bring two.

We do all try our best to share space. Typically we will keep our cars on the outside of the camping spot TAILPIPE AWAY FROM TENTS, tents/personal space right by the vehicle, and all share the remainder of the middle. If you have EZ-ups, great, bring em. If you have tarps/other shade, bring that to contribute too. If you don't have any shade to add, those of us that do got ya covered.

Also there are a couple folks that I have seen on camping requests that I don't think I have received a PM from - Scrog and Kasey King are the ones I think I don't have, yall coming with us this year? (not sure what Kasey's inforoo name is or if they are considered a +1 from someone else)

So this Pool party HQ dealy. i would like yo discuss the finer details and such, or am I just way too early and over excited for such topics at the moment. I've got such a Roo boner right now!

If you want to know specifics, what takes place and sights and sounds and such, send me a PM, don't want to clog up the thread too much with it. I may end up starting a new thread for this as it gets closer, but we will see how it goes. I will basically be providing a place for travelers to have one or two last nights with air conditioning, plumbing, and all that before heading to the farm, it just so happens that a pool is involved . . . . and beer . . . . and Canadians
